At HDS we can use these different techniques either alone or in combination. So for nervous patients it reduces or eliminates pain and control anxiety during most dental procedures. Under sedation for example you are aware and can still communicate but you are in a sleepy and relaxed state. We appreciate that every patient is different and by offering a variety of ways to help you feel confident, our aim is for you to feel relaxed and in control throughout the treatment. Sometimes just listening to music or playing relaxation CDs during treatment is enough to allay any nerves.
Pain Management
Fear of pain is the main reason some people avoid visiting the dentist. The good news is that there is a wide array of medications and techniques such as local anaesthetic and sedation to hypnotherapy and acupuncture in a calm environment
